Sunny Side of the Street

Seen the carnival at Rome had the women I had the booze
All I can remember now is little kids without no shoes
So I saw that train and I got on it
With a heart full of hate and a lust for vomit
Now I’m walking on the sunny side of the street
Stepped over bodies in Bombay tried to make it to the U.S.A.
Ended up in Nepal up on the roof with nothing at all
And I knew that day I was going to stay
Right where I am, on the sunny side of the street
Been in a palace, been in a jail
I just don’t want to be reborn a snail
Just want to spend eternity
Right where I am, on the sunny side of the street
As my mother wept it was then I swore
To take my life as I would a whore
I know I’m better than before, I will not be reconstructed
Just wanna stay right here on the sunny side of the street
